Chapter 108 Snow Lane Cabin
Lu Ran was awakened by hunger.
When he woke up from his sleep, he found that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Uh." Lu Ran rubbed his head, still feeling a little sleepy.
Lu Ran slept very late. Since waking up in the middle of the night, he has been experimenting with evil methods using black lights.
In particular, he also weaved a beautiful dream for the little tabby cat.
Sister Mao felt comfortable and enjoyed herself very much, but Lu Ran was mentally exhausted and very tired.
"Meow~" In his arms, the little tabby cat was lying lazily, its furry tail sweeping back and forth.
Looking at the cute appearance of the little guy, Lu Ran couldn't help but kiss its little head again.
He lay on his side, holding Little Lihua in his arms, and picked up the mobile phone beside the pillow.
Unexpectedly, there were many messages in the small group of four. Lu Ran thought that after what happened yesterday, everyone would be very quiet.
Lu Ran opened the group chat and saw the last message Chang Ying sent more than ten minutes ago:
"It's so boring staying at home, shall we go out and play?"
Unfortunately, no one responded, and the small group became cold.
Lu Ran thought about it and tapped the screen with his fingers.
Ran: "Go out and relax?"
Seeing someone showing support, Chang Ying immediately sent another message: "Great! Where are we going?"
Seeing this, Lu Ran was in a dilemma.
Yuxiang City is very small, where is there anything to play in?
This city can only meet people's basic living needs, as for the rest.
There isn't even an amusement park here, only a cinema, which is half-open.
Chang Ying: "How about we go get some cold drinks?"
Ran: "You really have nowhere to go to eat cold drinks in late autumn."
Chang Ying: "Why are you talking about me again? I'm crying!"
Ran: "I'll treat you."
Chang Ying: "Wow, Ranbao is the best!"
Lu Ran looked at the words on the screen with an interesting expression.
Three words can be used to describe his appearance at the moment: subway, old man, and mobile phone.
Burning treasure?
Haven't seen this title for a long time.
Lu Ran's heart moved slightly. He made a lot of "meh" sounds on the battlefield yesterday, and now he uttered this name again?
Sure enough, people's feelings and reactions are roughly the same.
Tian Tian: "Want to have some cold drinks?"
Ran: "3 o'clock, Hexi, Snow Lane Cabin."
Tian Tian: “Okay~(▽*)”
Lu Ran smiled, put down his phone, stood up and went straight to the bathroom to wash up and take a shower.
Twenty minutes later, Lu Ran walked out of the house wearing a baseball cap, a round-neck sweatshirt and jeans.
Since becoming a believer, Lu Ran rarely has the opportunity to wear casual clothes.
He also had a rare opportunity to wear the dark red knitted scarf that someone had given him.
It's quite warm.
Lu Ran exhaled wisps of white mist and felt the coolness of the rainy alley in late autumn.
There are still some orange-red or yellow leaves hanging on the sycamore trees in the community.
An autumn wind blew by, and a few more petals fell.
It was like a dead leaf butterfly lingering before my eyes, and finally fluttering to the ground.
"Click~"
Lu Ran stepped on the leaves, making a unique crisp sound.
At this moment, he should have been in the dark devil's cave, killing people in chaos.
An accident brought him back home, where he saw this somewhat familiar scene.
Lu Ran's mind was filled with the sad and beautiful late autumn picture of someone leaving.
He also imitated someone else and pulled up his large knitted scarf to cover his lips.
Yeah. Lu Ran thinks it’s pretty good.
In this shitty world, having more thoughts in your heart can also give you more hopes.
As for the motivation to survive, Lu Ran doesn't need anyone to give it to him.
As for the matter of exterminating all the evil demons in the world, Lu Ran's desire will only burn more fiercely as his strength grows.
Two fifty, Snow Lane Cottage.
This cold drink shop is very unique and looks like a wooden house.
What’s even more special is that there is a tall bald man standing in front of the cottage.
Bald woman?
Lu Ran was shocked, and the closer he got to the cabin, the more shocked he became.
"Captain Lu!" The bald woman smiled and waved at Lu Ran.
Lu Ran looked strange: "You called me Ranbao on the phone, but you called me Captain Lu in person?"
"Hehe~" Chang Ying put one hand on her head and touched her bald head.
"You really don't care about your image?" Lu Ran came to Chang Ying and looked up at her bald head.
You know what, it’s quite round?
Chang Ying in the past was wild and beautiful, but now...
It's just wilder.
When Tian Tian sees you later, won’t she be scared and cry?
Chang Ying pouted: "My hair was burnt and fuzzy, it was annoying to see, so I just shaved it all off."
Lu Ran smiled and said, "Then why don't you wear a hat?"
"Thank you." Chang Ying took off Lu Ran's white baseball cap and put it on her own head.
Lu Ran: ???
Chang Ying smiled and put her arm around Lu Ran's shoulders: "Thank you, Ran Bao. Ahem, thank you Captain Lu for treating me to a cold drink and giving me a hat."
Lu Ran: “.”
Really, you can eat and take at the same time!
Chang Ying looked at Lu Ran curiously: "Your scarf is so beautiful, is it hand-knitted?"
"That won't work!" Lu Ran shook his head hastily.
Other things are just external possessions, but this scarf must not be taken away by this bald female bandit.
"Stingy guy." Chang Ying muttered softly, pushing Lu Ran towards the store door, "Let's go, let's go."
"Ling ring ring~"
The wooden door opened and the copper bell on the door rang with a clear sound.
"What would you like to eat?" The waitress stood up from behind the bar and looked at Lu Ran curiously.
The clerk had noticed the bald girl standing outside the door early on, and had been curious about what kind of boy she was waiting for.
Now the case has been solved.
Hmm, this guy seems a little thin.
Can this small body do it?
"3 to 4 people." Lu Ran looked around and went directly to a compartment. Chang Ying said happily: "Then what shall I order?"
"Give me something to eat. I haven't eaten for a day." Lu Ran responded casually and sat down on the wooden chair.
Chang Ying's voice came from outside the single room: "I want this, this, this, this"
Lu Ran: “.”
Wouldn't it be better if you just threw the menu in the waiter's face and asked her to bring you one?
Ten minutes later, when Lu Ran was eating potato cakes, Tian Tian arrived.
Unexpectedly, Deng Yutang, who was not in the group, also came.
"Aunt Si came to my house." Deng Yutang sat on the wooden chair.
"She hasn't left yet?" Lu Ran was a little surprised.
Yesterday, the aunt sent several people home one by one, and after a round of thanks, she drove away.
Deng Yutang nodded and said, "Yes, they came with gifts, to apologize and express gratitude."
Tian Tian whispered: "Auntie also went to my house in the morning."
Lu Ran nodded thoughtfully.
After all, the team members saved her and her daughter's lives, so no matter how grateful they were, it wouldn't be excessive.
"Next comes our family, right?" Chang Ying looked at Lu Ran.
"Probably." Lu Ran shrugged.
Chang Ying suddenly became interested and looked at Deng Yutang: "Auntie, what gift did you bring?"
Lu Ran suddenly said: "I've always wanted to apologize to you."
"Ok?"
"Ah?" Several people looked at Lu Ran.
Lu Ran said embarrassedly: "I chose the Demon Cave, and you all accompanied me there, but..."
"What are you talking about!" Chang Ying interrupted Lu Ran directly, "Which demon cave is not dangerous? Accidents can happen anywhere!
You can't predict the future! If anyone needs to apologize, it's me."
As she spoke, Chang Ying's face was filled with regret: "At the critical moment, I drew a bad lottery ticket and can't help at all."
Tian Tian looked at Chang Ying and retorted, "You have contributed the most and have always been at the forefront.
I am the commander of the team and I should bear the greatest responsibility."
Tian Tian's voice became smaller and smaller, and her head lowered: "I acted on my own initiative and led the team into danger.
If it weren't for Lu Ran's command, leading us out, I'm afraid all of us would have died..."
There was silence in the small room, and the relaxed atmosphere just now became dull again.
We agreed to come out and relax, but it turned into a review meeting.
Deng Yutang suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence: "I was wrong too."
Chang Ying looked at Deng Yutang curiously: "What did you do wrong?"
On the battlefield, this Red Scarf believer performed admirably, obeyed orders and did not slack off at all in his duties.
"I, I." Deng Yutang hesitated for a long time but couldn't make out the reason.
Wrong, maybe the mistake is that you want to fit in too much.
The three teammates reviewed their thoughts one after another, and Deng Yutang felt a little awkward staying here.
Finally, Deng Yutang picked up the juice and said: "Being able to survive is our greatest success and the most worthy thing to celebrate!
We must regroup as soon as possible, as there will be many more dangers ahead!"
Self-examination is necessary, but you can't indulge in it for too long if you want to survive in this dangerous world.
The so-called growth inevitably requires going through some storms and learning some lessons.
How to survive better is people’s first priority.
"Okay." Lu Ran picked up the juice and the four of them clinked their cups.
The crisp sound is like a separator.
Deng Yutang took a big sip of orange juice and said directly: "It's still early, are we still going to the Demon Cave for training?"
At this moment, the characteristics of the Red Scarf believers were fully reflected in Deng Yutang.
Just yesterday, everyone experienced life and death and saw the horrifying evil nest.
If it were someone else, not only would they be unable to recover for days and nights, they would probably be shrouded in the shadow for the rest of their lives.
And the Red Scarf believers are ready to take up arms and go into battle again!
"I'm about to advance to the third stage of the Creek Realm." Tian Tian whispered, "I want to practice before the God Sculpture."
It is rare that Tian Tian is so brave to express her wishes.
The speed of cultivation in the devil's cave is not slow, but it is still inferior to that in front of the shrine.
Tian Tian’s choice is understandable. After all, she is just a seventeen-year-old student, and it is understandable that she wants to calm down.
"Me too, I feel like I'm almost promoted." Chang Ying echoed.
"Okay, then I will also concentrate on practicing at home." Deng Yutang did not force it.
After all, he was about to be promoted, and the Three Stages Divine Technique of Xijing was very attractive to him.
"Where is Lu Ran?" Chang Ying looked at Lu Ran.
Lu Ran shook his head: "I have only been promoted to the third level for ten days, and I still need a while."
Chang Ying: "Come on, you have the best chance of making it to the competition."
Deng Yutang was full of confidence: "Brother Lu must be able to catch up, we haven't even finished this semester yet!
There are still four months until the start of the next semester. Isn't it easy for Lu Ran to reach the Upper River Realm?"
Chang Ying suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, "That's right, maybe on the first day of next semester, Lu Ran will be the only one in our school.
A one-man duel, victory is inevitable without fighting!
I won so many awards and points, I feel so happy~"
Lu Ran smiled and said, "That's a nice thought. There are still four months left. How could I be the only one in the River Realm?"
The reason why the river realm is required is that within this realm, believers can piece together water armor.
In this special historical context, Daxia must both encourage students to forge ahead and avoid casualties to the greatest extent possible.
Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in healthy competitions between people: if the water armor is broken, it means defeat.
"Tsk~" Chang Ying retorted, "After the third stage of the Creek Realm, there are obstacles at every step.
Especially when the fifth stage of the creek realm broke through the river realm, it was simply amazing.
I remember that when the second half of the semester started for the last senior year, there were only 2 or 3 River Realm believers?
The first, second and third place will be decided in a few minutes."
Lu Ran: "Ma Tianchuan should be able to do it. I haven't heard from him for a long time. I wonder how his training progress is."
Deng Yutang: "If I really meet Ma Tianchuan, Brother Lu will have to teach him a good lesson haha!
The competition between our two teams has been put on hold until now, so you are now representing our team.
Oh, and there’s Wu Shanshan.”
